On Friday morning, London said she wanted to get her ears pierced. I'd had a long running internal debate about ear piercing. Mine were pierced when I was a baby, and I always assumed I'd do the same with my little girl. Then I got to thinking, "what if she didn't want her ears pierced?" I decided to wait until she asked for it. We gathered up the troops on Friday night and headed to the mall. After FINALLY choosing a suitable pair of earrings, she was pierced! She did really great. They did one ear at a time, so she was a little shaken up with the second ear. Overall, I think she did great! On a side note, I'm yet again up for a "Mom of the Year" award after the mall incident. In my defense, we were in a big hurry to get out the door, and I wasn't as attentive as I should have been... It started when we got to the mall. I had forgotten the double stroller, so we just let the kids walk. We were down in center court at the little playland when I saw Beck running with his shorts falling off. (Like I said, we were in a hurry, and I just threw on a pair of 2T shorts from a bag that my sister in law had just given to Beck from her little guy. I figured that because he is 2 they'd fit. I was wrong.) Then I noticed his bare little bum hanging out under his shirt. Luckily, his shirt was long enough to cover his "goods." Yeah, I guess he had taken off his undies sometime before we left. You should have seen the looks of the other moms in the playland. Priceless! I ran into the Gymboree and asked for a safety pin. The best they had was a Gymbucks button pin. We made do. Seriously, who leaves the house with their 2 year old wearing way too big bottoms with no underwear? Yeah, that's me...
A big thanks to my mom,Dave, York, Jenny, and girls for coming to the big event! How many families do you know that will take time out of their Friday night plans to see a 4 year old get their ears pierced? I've got the best family ever!

What a big girl!! How fun, earings and all that girlly stuff. Well, I am still laughing about Beck running through the mall with his little bumm hanging out. Totally can relate, it must be a boy thing!
Brohlen, used to think that his boy part was falling off.
Great post. I love the button on Beck's shorts. That's just too hilarious. I can almost picture him running around with his cute little bare feet and bare bum! Ha!
London is so brave! She didn't even cry! I can't wait to see them today!
Oh, huge HUGE moment in the life of a little girl! I remember when mine were done, I think I was probably about Londons age. Although it seemed alot more dramatic to me. Watching London get hers done it was like no big deal. What a super trooper! Yeah London!
Haha! I love hearing those stories because it always makes me feel better when I do something AWESOME!!!
We were at the mall Friday night, I am sad we missed the big event!
It was so fun to be there! Thanks for inviting us. She did such a great job and Beck, well he is always darling, whether he has undies on or not!! Love ya.
She looks so sweet! I'm still laughing about Beck's shorts! It was fun to see you at the mall! That must have been before the bare bum incident!
Oh my gosh, that is soooo funny! I love the video, and the story of Beck is hilarious too. You are so dang funny. Man, I wish I lived by you!!!!! You are so flippin cute, I love it.
Seeing London getting her ears peirced, kinda makes me wish I had a girl. She looks so adorable!!
Love the "button" on Beck's pants. That's too funny!!!
We were makin' another memory! Too prescious! She was very brave for the first ear, pretty brave for the 2nd, what a doll! jilly
What a brave little trooper! She is SO cute!
How exciting. We have that on and off debate at our house too. It looks like she did well and handled the pain.
How fun!
At least his "goods" were covered! I am still laughing! I thought Mylee seemed so old when she got her ears peirced!
That's awesome that you videotaped that! Its funny how it's such a milestone moment for girls to get their ears pierced, but it totally is! She is so adoreable...
I hope you're doing good...I feel like I have lost touch with everyone...I've been so consumed with this mommy-of-four thing...sorry!
